Two words: REBA MCENTIRE!
Several months ago I purchased tickets to see Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson. I'm a huge fan of Reba and my friend Steph and I have pretty much decided that we will go see her whenever she comes to town. I prepped by spending the two days leading up to the concert listening to all of my CD's. It was all Reba, all the time.
Friday night came (at last), and I got in my boots and cowboy hat, picked up my other friend and went to the concert. And I just have to say that it was fabulous! Melissa Peterman (Barbara Jean from the "Reba" TV show) opened for them by doing a stand-up routine. She was hysterical. After she finished, we waited...and then the moment came - Reba and Kelly came on stage, and I stood up and started screaming and singing along.
At about that moment, an older gentleman behind me started shouting and saying to sit down, that he was trying to see the concert. HELLO! Where did he think he was? He wasn't at the symphony, or a movie, or a play. He was at a COUNTRY and ROCK CONCERT. I basically told him that - and a bit more which I'm not all that proud of - and stood up the whole time anyway. I'm not completely hard-hearted about it - I did move down one row - but I left my hat on, so there!
Reba and Kelly were both awesome... They sang a lot of what I wanted to hear, and played for about 2 hours. I of course sang right along with them. Kelly is great. That girl can really sing. I didn't really know any of her songs songs except for what I knew was from American Idol. But I know all the words to every one of Reba's songs, and I sang and screamed myself hoarse. She was awesome, as always. And at the conclusion of the evening, when the final notes of "Fancy" had finished, I was totally spent. What a night!
